I may as well throw in my anecdote. Interviewed at Stripe. It actually went reasonably well until one interview. Dude said he had attended one of my talks, then proceeded to take contrary positions on anything I had asserted in that talk. I'm a pragmatic person, so I didn't really put up much argument with him. Perhaps this was the wrong course of action? Or perhaps it was doomed from the start? Either way, no job. Hearing all this coming out, I guess I got lucky.
- protomyth 5y agoWell, the dude was either a very bad interviewer who was trying to play devil's advocate for some possibly positive reason (trying to answer someone else's arguments?), or (more likely) you were doomed from the start and dude just wanted a shot at making it known how much better the dude way is than your way. Either way, it sounds like putting the energy and effort into the interview wouldn't have yielded a positive outcome.
